The Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Policy Framework by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) aims to integrate land use and transport planning to create compact, walkable communities centered around quality public transportation. This approach aligns with existing national laws and policies to enhance urban development, reduce traffic congestion, and promote sustainability in major urban areas of the Philippines. The framework seeks to mainstream TOD in urban planning, particularly in highly urbanized regions like Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao.
